Despina's fundraiser for National Autistic Society

Concert in St. Nicolas Church, Abingdon, Oxfordshire · 7 June 2025
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
For twelve years, local pianist and educator Despina Nikolakis Mouchas has been organising family-friendly concerts yearly, in memory of her beloved daughter Artemis. This year’s concert will feature her friend George Nikolaïdis, a Paris-based flautist who has been a welcome and engaging guest artist over the years. Mr Nikolaïdis will bring with him the talented pianist Jean-Pierre Dussert who only recently began performing in public again after many years without regular access to a piano. (The unusual story of their meeting and subsequent collaboration is the subject of a prize-winning documentary which will be available via private link to everyone who supports this year’s benefit concert.) The duo will present a brilliant and varied programme of popular songs arranged for piano and flute including works by Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Bellini, Bizet and Rachmaninov.
This year’s concert will be held at 7.30pm on Saturday 7 June at St Nicholas Church, 6 Market Place, Abingdon OX14 3JD, and will last about an hour without intermission. It will benefit the National Autistic Society.
Our popular reception with home-made Greek snacks will take place immediately afterwards!
Tickets are available on the door or through Eventbrite: £15 adult / £12 concessions / £8 children under 10.
